Prediction
Yankees 5, Orioles 3
Money line (ML)
The Yankees crushed the Orioles 13-1 on Tuesday night, one day after being blown out by Baltimore, 7-1. Monday’s loss snapped a three-game win streak for the Yankees but they’ll get another streak going tonight.
They are 3-0 in Taillon’s last three starts and 6-1 in his last seven. Bet the YANKEES (-280) to win outright at home, but make it a smaller wager because of how chalky that line is.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
New York is 8-2 against the spread in its last 10 games while Baltimore is just 4-6 in that same span. Both pitchers have performed at a very high level in their last three starts, but the Yankees are the better team right now.
New York has given up more than 2 runs just twice in its last seven games. Outside of the Orioles’ 7-run outburst, the Baltimore offense hasn’t been putting up runs in bunches.
Take the YANKEES -1.5 (-130) to cover the spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
With as well as the Yankees’ pitching staff has been lately it’s no surprise that the total has gone Under in eight of their last 10 games.
The Orioles offense hasn’t been knocking the cover off the ball, either, which suggests this will be a lower-scoring game.
Bet the UNDER 9.5 (-120).
